Little Freddie King


Fat Possum Records is proud to announce that they have signed Little Freddie King from New Orleans. Look for his debut on Fat Possum Records in the early part of next year.


A lot more information about Little Freddie King and the upcoming Fat Possum year will be available soon.







Tonight's Shows


20 Miles will be playing tonight at the Petit Cafe Campus in Montreal and closing out their current tour on Friday and Saturday in New York City (Rodeo Bar) and Brooklyn (Fluxcore Gallery).

If you happen to live in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Kenny Brown is more your style, check him out at the Sticky Fingerz tonight .

Hasil Adkins


We are again proud to announce that Hasil Adkins is the newest addition to our $9.00 club.



What is there to say about a small boy who heard the radio announcer introduce a song by Hank Williams and assumed that he was playing all the instruments and singing simultaneously, just as Hasil Adkins does on What the Hell Was I Thinking?

Darker Blues - ON SALE FOR ONLY $25.00

Darker Blues is a 100+ page book of photographs of the musicians of Fat Possum Records. In addition to the photos, Joe Sacco's now-classic story, "The Rude Blues" is printed here, as a stand alone comic book. It's the first appearance of the story since it showed up in Details magazine several years ago. Barry Hannah and J ohn Barry have both contributed essays to the book as well.

A book about music that contains no music just seemed wrong, so we included two CDs packaged into the book as well. The 16 tracks on CD1 show what we're up to at the moment. The 7 tracks on CD2 are something special: Seven never before released tracks of R.L. Burnside music.
